Bravo! I’m slightly daunted by the option of building a kit hen house – yours was much harder and you made it look fun. Well done. You must have happy hens!

I have 12 hen this time and 7-9 eggs/day .
They start laying eggs when 6 or 7 mounts old .
The first mount the eggs smaller but later normal size will producing 9 mount long period .
The next year after some brake will have less but bigger size eggs .
Will nice to have eggs every day and kind of friendly company .
Good to show for friends and child visitor also like to watch .
Thank you for write me nice comment .
All best and good inspiration and keep good the hens .
Sandor
That was truly one of the better video’s I’ve seen lately. No talking, just doing!
You see nearly every step of the process – in a short period of time. Very well done.
I just bought 10 chickens two months ago, and built a small coup and run for them. I thought it might have been a mistake, but so far, they are really fun and require very little care. I cant wait until they start laying eggs. For now, they are only producing fertilizer.
Again, great video!
